Daming King of Punishment

The old man politely went to prepare meals for the four of them, and Song Wuya frowned as he was in the room with nothing to do.

The three people on the side also saw his expression, but Xiaohuan was only a maid after all, so they didn't dare to ask.The anger in Situ Wen's heart still hasn't dissipated. Although she no longer mentions the matter of breaking off the engagement with Song Wuya under the persuasion of her uncle Situ Yi, she is still not very satisfied with him in her heart.

Only Bai Zhuo saw his expression, so he asked, "Brother Wu Ya, everything has settled down, why are you still frowning?"

Song Wuya was startled when he heard Bai Zhuo's question, and raised his head.

"Oh! I just feel a little strange."

"Strange? Are you talking about this old man?" Bai Zhuo didn't understand what Song Wuya meant by strange.

After all, unlike Song Wuya, he still has some special understanding of these things. Dang even explained to Bai Zhuo: "The strange thing I'm talking about is the thing about this beast hurting people."

"It's not surprising that wild beasts hurt people. It's not surprising that it's in the wilderness. Brother Wu Ya don't need to worry about it. We will set off early tomorrow morning. We won't encounter those wild beasts that hurt people during the day." Bai Zhuo heard After listening to Song Wuya's words, he comforted him.

However, that's not what Song Wuya wanted to say. He shook his head: "Ordinary beasts don't understand humans. Even if they attack humans, they can't directly find humans' throats and kill them with one blow."

"Oh? There are other things like this?" When Song Wuya said this, Bai Zhuo was immediately surprised.

Not to mention him, even Situ Wen who was at the side couldn't help but look at Song Wuya squarely, thinking about it seriously.

"Then what do you mean to say, these are not ordinary beasts, have they been tamed by humans? Do you know how to kill people with one blow?" Situ Wen pondered for a while, and then said what she was thinking.

Song Wuya looked at Situ Wen in surprise, and nodded: "It's possible, and of course it's not the only one. I haven't seen the wound, maybe the wound where the beast committed a crime was artificially forged!"

"Forgery? Then wouldn't this become a murder case?" Bai Zhuo was shocked, and stood up suddenly.

Song Wuya nodded: "Anyway, I always feel a little strange about this matter."

The three of them were talking, when the old man came in with food, his yelling interrupted the conversation of the three of them.

"Aren't you in a hurry? I hope you don't feel disgusted by the simple tea and light food."

Seeing this, Song Wuya and the others immediately got up and saluted the old man respectfully.

"Thank you, old man, for your hospitality. A few of us are bothering you old man today. For those of us who go out, it is a great enjoyment to be able to eat a mouthful of hot food outside. How can we dislike it!" Bai Zhuo, who has read a lot of poetry and books, said politely. The old man bowed again.

Song Wuya followed Bai Zhuo's example and bowed to the old man.

"You guys are really polite. Don't you rely on everyone when you go out? After you eat, the old man will go back to the house first. After eating, just put the bowls and chopsticks here, and the old man will come and clean up later."

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Song Wuya hurriedly stopped him.

"Old man, wait a moment, this junior wants to ask you a few words."

"Oh? Are you asking for directions?"

The old man was a little surprised, he came back to look at Song Wuya and asked back.

Song Wuya said bluntly: "It's not asking for directions, it's just that this junior is curious about the beasts hurting people in this village, so I want to know more about it."

"Oh! So that's how it is." The old man nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Song Wuya: "You guys eat first, and the old man will tell you what happened today."

Song Wuya nodded after hearing this, and sat down immediately, but he was not in a hurry to eat. After all, this old man was talking here, and it was a bit impolite for them to eat indiscriminately.

The old man ignored this, and Dang even started to talk about it.

"Then we have to start from half a year ago! The daughter-in-law of Liu Da in the village, watching the continuous rain for several days finally stopped, thought of digging some wild vegetables in the mountains and forests, but who knew that Liu Da came from the field until the evening When I came back, I didn’t see my daughter-in-law. Earlier, there were rumors in the village that Mrs. Liu’s daughter-in-law was disobedient and committed adultery. Mr. Liu had also heard about it, but he never came across the evidence. He became suspicious and recruited his three brothers, and spent the night He searched the village all over, but he couldn't find where his wife was. It wasn't until the next morning that Liu Da remembered what his daughter-in-law said to go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. He immediately called his brother and went straight to the forest. I searched for it for three days and couldn’t find it.”

The old man talked for a long time, stopped to pass a few breaths, and then continued.

"Liu Da just panicked now, and didn't even think about whether his daughter-in-law went to meet the wild man secretly, so she immediately reported to the government. As soon as the government came, she immediately went into the forest, and within half a day, she took Liu Da The body of the daughter-in-law came back, and the government said that she was bitten to death by a wild animal, so that was the end of it. After the body of the daughter-in-law Liu came back, everyone in the village went to see it. A large piece of flesh and blood was bitten off her neck, and the bones were exposed. At that time, Liu Da was crying so badly, he kept yelling sorry for his wife, saying that he shouldn’t believe her. People in the village also thought that Liu Da’s daughter-in-law was innocent, and those who had said anything indiscriminately were also given to her. She went to pay respects to the grave."

"Oh? Old man, why do you think that Liu's daughter-in-law is innocent after she died?" Song Wuya felt very strange when he heard this, what kind of thing is this!

Unexpectedly, just as he asked this, the old man's tone of voice increased: "If he is not innocent, how can he be blessed by God? Bitten to death by a wild animal, except for the neck, there is no harm at all? This is clearly Seeing that she was slandered by others, the heavens took pity on her and left a whole body for her."

"Oh! So that's how it is, sorry for my stupidity, junior." Song Wuya hurriedly said something politely, and the old man's expression eased. "Didn't someone die in this village recently?"

"Hmm! I thought that after the death of Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law, this matter would be over. People were afraid for a few days and did not dare to enter the mountain. But it was half a month, and everyone didn't remember it. Who knows half a day A month later, another person died, and the death status was exactly the same as Liu's wife, but this time the person who died went to the mountains to collect medicine. Since then, in half a year, many people have died, both men and women."

"Did they all die in the mountains?" Song Wuya couldn't help asking again when he heard this.

The old man shook his head: "It's strange to say that even though the officials found the corpses from the forest, my daughter-in-law obviously went to work in the fields, but she died on the mountain. Hey! It's a pity for our family Boss, the three brothers managed to marry a daughter-in-law, but who knew they would encounter such misfortune! Hey!"

Unexpectedly, one of the old man's own family members also died. When talking about sad things, the old man couldn't help sighing again and again, with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Song Wuya didn't want to ask any more questions, so he comforted the old man and started eating.

Several people were eating when the courtyard door was suddenly knocked open with a bang.

"Who is the head of the household!"

Suddenly there was a shout in the courtyard, and the old man quickly put away his grief and hurried out of the house.

"This old man is the head of the household, and you guys... so it's the officials! You're so polite!"

Song Wuya looked out along the door, but there were several government servants standing in the courtyard.

"Are you the head of the household, Zhao Baoguang?" the leading yamen servant glared at the old man and asked.

The old man bowed and said, "The young one is Zhao Baoguang."

"Okay! Why don't your three sons come out? Could it be that they have done something bad and dare not see us officials?" Seeing that the old man had recognized his identity, the leader of the suppression asked coldly, and asked the old man about his three the whereabouts of his son.

The old man was so frightened by this shout that he shuddered all over, and hurriedly fell to his knees on the ground: "Don't scare the villain, my three sons are simple and honest, how dare they do evil things. Just because a relative died in the village, I went to help gone."

After the old man explained, the yamen servant stopped threatening him: "There is an important project in the county today that requires some labor. Your three sons must provide two labors. We will gather outside the village tomorrow evening and wait for me. Come and pick it up."

"It's... really busy..." The old man panicked when he heard this.

Recently, it was the busy time of farming, and the family's field could not be short of people.

But before the old man finished speaking, the yamen servant immediately stepped forward, raised the dagger in his hand and put it on the old man's neck.

"Do you want to disobey Grandpa's order?"

"The little one doesn't dare! The little one doesn't dare! The little one just obeys orders." The old man knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed again and again after being shouted at by him.

The yamen servant was extremely proud, he snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing these people leave, the old man stood up, already crying badly.Hearing these words, Song Wuya felt furious in his heart. It was like this in ancient times, officials were the sky, and this little official was in front of these common people, as if he could go to the sky, with an air of arrogance.

"These bastards, even the elders who are over [-] years old have to bully them. It's a pity that I didn't get the honor, otherwise I will get rid of these bastards and stop them from harming the village." This scene made Bai Zhuo very angry, and he slapped the table and stood up. , indignant in the mouth.

Bai Zhuo's performance like this actually made Song Wuya look down on him a bit.Speaking of it, I can't blame him, after all, he is a scholar, and it doesn't make much sense when he said this.But what he said made sense. It was precisely because of these rats that the people of the ancient dynasties did not have a living, and the country did not last long.

Of course these have nothing to do with Song Wuya, now that he has come here, he can only follow the Romans, and he never thought that he could go back.After all, the matter of time travel was originally an accidental factor. If it was possible to go back and forth, it would become a trip.
